FUN AROUND TOWN:

DEAD ALIVE (aka BRAINDEAD), 1992, Lionsgate, 97 min. The poisonous bite of a Sumatran rat monkey leads to an out-of-control zombie epidemic in Peter Jackson’s deliriously entertaining gross-out fest. It’s over-the-top gore and slapstick recalls Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD movies, but its off-kilter sense of wit and New Zealand atmosphere are pure Jackson.

CEMETERY MAN (aka DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE), 1996, 105 min. Director Michele Soavi (THE CHURCH, STAGE FRIGHT) adapts Tiziano Sclavi’s darkly humorous graphic novel “Dylan Dog” into this eccentric, sumptuously photographed zombie film. Rupert Everett is Francesco Dellamorte, a lonely, romantic caretaker who needs to keep killing the undead that stubbornly keep rising from the graves in his cemetery. Print courtesy of the Sundance Collection at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

EVIL DEAD II, 1987, Rosebud Releasing Corporation, 84 min. Dir. Sam Raimi. Bruce Campbell returns to battle demons in the woods (and his own possessed hand!) in a sequel that tops the original EVIL DEAD for sheer speed and inventiveness.

ARMY OF DARKNESS, 1992, Universal Pictures, 96 min. Dir. Sam Raimi. The third EVIL DEAD movie sends Ash (Bruce Campbell) back in time to 1300 to battle skeletons with his chainsaw and shotgun. The result is a hilarious, action-packed hybrid of JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, the Three Stooges and Mark Twain.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, 1968, 96 min. Director George Romero’s unqualified masterpiece pits a handful of citizens holed up in a farmhouse against a newly revived horde of flesh-eating zombies. The cast of talented unknowns (headed by Duane Jones) are all alarmingly believable as they fight for life, trying to escape a bad dream that gets uncompromisingly worse and more horrifying as the hours crawl by.

ZOMBIE, 1979, Anchor Bay Entertainment, 91 min. A zombie epidemic breaks out in the Caribbean and non-stop carnage ensues in this classic gorefest from horror maestro Lucio Fulci. Highlights include the world’s greatest fight between a shark and a zombie!
